May the Fourth be with you: Mud Hens to wear ‘Chewbacca’ jerseys this weekend

Chewbacca game-used jerseys will be auctioned off after each game.

Special Star Wars Mud Hens shirts will be available in the Swamp Shop all weekend.

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -

It's a combination many didn't see coming: Star Wars and minor league baseball. But it's a tradition that's been going on for awhile. It all starts with a clever play on words that marry a day... with a popular phrase from the movie:

"May the Fourth Be With You"

So this Saturday, May fourth, the Hens are will wear special "Chewbacca" themed uniforms during the Star Wars themed game. (For the uninitiated, Chewbacca is Han Solo's hair covered co-pilot in the original Star Wars trilogy.)
